About Me: Hi, I'm Susie! You'll almost never find me on my own--I love forming bonds with other elements, and am very reactive. Sir Humphry Davy is the first person who figured out to get me on my own—he was so electrifying he wooed me away from the oxygen and hydrogen I was paired with.
Friends:
I love to get together with my friends hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen to do some baking.
Chloride and I hang out all the time. Even though everyone likes spending time with us, most people say we're best in small doses.

Monday:
Someone confused me and Potassium again today! Can you believe it? I mean, we're both alkali metals, and we're both silvery white, but she's a vegetable alkali and I'm totally a mineral alkali. Hello, I thought we cleared this up in the 18th century!
Tuesday:
Tried to go for a swim today.I only wanted to get a little wet, but someone pushed me under--I was so angry I practically blew up!
